COMMITMENT

“I founded Kessler Investment Group, LLC on the commitment to provide unbiased investment management advice with no conflict of interest between the firm and its clients. After more than 20 years in the investment services industry, I’ve determined that what many clients are looking for in their advisor cannot be delivered under the traditional broker/client arrangement. For the advice to be truly unbiased, an advisor’s compensation must not be dependent on the investment products themselves, but rather on the quality of the advice being delivered. When the financial interest of the advisor and client are aligned, I believe a stronger and lasting relationship is more likely to develop. No commissions, no lock-up periods, no surrender penalties. Deliver unbiased advice for a fee with no strings attached. That is the vision of Kessler Investment Group, LLC.” > Craig Kessler, President

Tipton Life | Fall 2015

Editor’s note Welcome to our fall issue of Tipton Life®. For those with returning students, as you know, everyone is getting back in their school year routine by this time. Early mornings and late afternoons leave little time to enjoy all of the amenities Tipton Lakes has to offer its members. However, there continues to be an abundance of neighbors utilizing our pedestrian paths, swimming, boating and enjoying the last few days of warm weather. It’s both refreshing and rewarding to see the activity continue. Just when we think we will be scrambling for new and creative information to share with our members, we maintain our excitement about this high-quality publication. As we have said before, our work here would not be possible without the cooperation of our members who continue to share great stories with our community. This magazine is another reason why Tipton Lakes is a great place to live! One of our special interest stories is particularly fun in this edition because it highlights generations of families who choose to call Tipton Lakes home. Just this last week we were commenting in the Association Office about all of the home sells where members are buying and selling within Tipton Lakes, not to mention children who are following their parents and vice versa calling Tipton Lakes home. Be sure to read about some of our multigeneration families on page 30.

Answering the question, “What is Tipton Lakes?”

Tipton Life | Fall 2015

[THIRD in a series]

he four main players in the growth of Tipton Lakes have been planners, developers, builders and residents. They all still have vital roles, but they each understand that as 30plus years of expansion reaches its culmination, residents will be bequeathed with the long-term task of answering the question, “What is Tipton Lakes?” This unique section of Columbus is a testimony to how this varied group of players has succeeded in imbuing each neighborhood within the overall area with a distinct identity while staying true to the vision that has driven its growth from the beginning. The resulting effect is that of a real community, with a social fabric composed of residents in various phases of life and fields of endeavor, arriving from many different points of origin. John Malina, a longtime resident who has served the community in several capacities, says that when Tipton Lakes Community Association was formed, there was a conscious decision to name it thusly, rather than

using the term “lot owners,” which was more customary at the time. “That wasn’t adequate for the planners’ vision,” he says. To be sure, master developer Tipton Lakes Company and a number of development firms with which it works are still busy fleshing out the design and overall feel for the remaining round of neighborhoods in various phases of completion. As these are brought along, they reinforce the goal established at the outset: an area within a city in which one could live through all the stages of adult life, from an apartment to a starter home, to various types of homes for raising families, to various options for downsizing. That goal also includes people living in each type of neighborhood having access to all the parks, trails and other features common to the community. Developers are actually a fairly imaginative lot. They start with a tract of land in its natural state and conceive of one type of living environment or another. They are also skilled coordinators, choosing builders and land-

history scapers based on the ability to realize the vision. Armed with a topography map and a sense of the type of person to whom their creation is likely to appeal, they immerse themselves in maximizing quality of life for those who will eventually inhabit it. Jeff Bush, managing partner in Spring Hill Development, LLC, as well as other development firms, points out that the streets in the clusters he’s developed are not straight. “You’ll notice that they wind and change in elevation,” he says. “You want people to be intrigued about what they can’t see around the bend.”

He also has a keen sense of how to make the panorama of the front range of the hills of western Bartholomew County available to homebuyers. “I try to get people to think about how to site their houses to maximize their views,” he says. Bush has been involved with Tipton Lakes development since 1991. During that time, he’s had relationships with a few builders. For his current projects, Spring Hill and Heron Cove, he’s partnering with M/I Homes, a firm with a presence in several states. The economic downturn of 2008 winnowed the field

One of the methods used to create good views was multilevel plots.

of local contractors, just as Bush’s company had bought 90 acres and put in a 16-acre lake. “I’d been working with M/I homes in Indianapolis,” he says, “but it took some convincing to get them to look at Columbus and try Heron Cove. Frankly, Columbus had a reputation among big developers as being somewhat insular.” Cliff White, area president of M/I Homes, corroborates Bush’s account. “I brought two senior people down there, and on the way, they asked, ‘Why are we going?’” Once they saw Tipton Lakes, they were believers. “There aren’t a lot of competitors in our price range, the $250,000 to $350,000 range that custom builders aren’t serving,” he notes. Heron Cove was a great success. “That was more

That cluster tends toward smaller houses appealing to first-timers as well as downsizers. Spring Hill Lake will be composed of larger homes. Sidewalks are fairly close to completion. Twenty more half-acre lots on the east side of the lake will be developed over the next two years. Cornerstone Development partner George Dutro likewise speaks of how “a good neighborhood has a defining characteristic.” His next Tipton Lakes project, the last in the overall plan, is Oak Ridge, a low-density cluster on some rather rugged terrain. “The defining characteristic here will be the deep ravines and interesting topography,” he says. “You can either fight this terrain by cutting trees and flattening it

history out, or you can have a large-lot area with half-acres of wooded ground.” He’s chosen Drees, a well-respected Kentucky-based builder, to construct the homes. “I like to work with a single builder,” he says. Dutro used to work for Tipton Lakes Company, so he has a deep understanding of the overall vision and its roots. “It’s important to have a master plan,” he says. “Apartments were part of the plan from the beginning, so it wasn’t necessary to zone for them after the fact.” He says that “the whole development of a place like

Tipton Lakes needs to look planned but not contrived. The land needs to look utilized but not dense. That’s why you see so many green spaces.” As the area’s growth reaches its maturation point, the question of what Tipton Lakes’ identity is to be increasingly falls on residents. Beth Parkhust, the Association’s General Manager, says that, along with the plan for physical development, Tipton Lakes Company wanted a plan for the time

history when the association would have full responsibility for managing the area. To that end, the association enlarged its board from five to nine members. Some were elected, and some were appointed by Tipton Lakes Company, with the ratio shifting to the current point at which eight are elected. “We also decided to establish committees to look at our priorities and monitor what is going on,” she says. Current committees include lake maintenance, grounds, finance, design review, covenants and social. Among other functions, the Association has come to

serve as a clearinghouse for residents needing services, such as lawn mowing, roof repair and baby-sitting. This aspect has become increasingly important as the Tipton Lakes Community has come to include more recent arrivals, many of whom are from other nations. “They’ve brought in cultural practices we’re not so familiar with, and they view some of ours the same way,” says Malina. “Some people have never seen a lawn mower.” To the end of making such residents feel fully included in the community, Malina and some others are

forming a group to explore the most effective way to accomplish that. “We recently had our first meeting,” he says. “Diane Ward of Engage Columbus [the Heritage Fund program focused on resource referral for new city residents] was there. I’ve also had a meeting with Tracy Souza of the Heritage Fund, and she’s enthusiastically assured us of that organization’s support.” According to Malina, “Cummins kind of pioneered the notion of looking at how best to include a diverse population, and we can learn what’s worked and what

hasn’t. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel.” Parkhurst stresses that the Tipton Lakes approach to turning a development project for a large swath of land in an expanding city into a full-fledged community is unique. “It’s been a 20-year work in progress,” she says. “In the 1990s, there were not many planned communities, and certainly not like Tipton Lakes.” Then again isn’t that the Columbus way, to think deeply about what quality community life is, and to welcome everybody to help shape it?

Association Seeks Input Regarding Clearing Snow from Pedestrian Paths Rick Roberts, PLA n Landscape Architect, Engledow Group n my work with parks departments around the country, the challenges of pedestrian path winter maintenance was a recurring theme. Historically, urban sidewalks and pedestrian paths connecting neighborhoods to schools received the highest attention from communities when it came to snow removal, though it was certainly not universal. In some communities, residents were by code, responsible for public sidewalk winter maintenance adjacent to their property. Many northern communities have traditionally opted to leave snow on their pedestrian paths for winter recreational activities such as cross country skiing or snowshoeing. More recently however, this has been challenged by those desiring a clean surface for winter running, walking, and biking. There is no simple answer. Snow removal and ice management on pedestrian paths are expensive and can be damaging to adjoining properties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from equipment as well as deicing chemicals. The intersection of pedestrian paths and streets is particularly problematic in that typically this is the area with the deepest snow piles given most snow removal practices. Context also adds to

Tipton Life | Fall 2015

the complexity of the winter maintenance formula. Natural areas with undulating topography provide challenges from the very elements that make them so enjoyable in the summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rolling hills and a mix of sun and shade. Both add to the need to continuously monitor for refreezing conditions and greatly increase the liability exposure for slips and falls. Once a pedestrian path surface is cleared and clean, the expectation of the user is that it will stay that way. As I am writing this article, we have the perfect example of the difficulty of this issue. It is in the 50s for afternoon temperatures, the snow is mostly gone, and people are out enjoying the beautiful weather. The evening temperatures have been falling into the 30s and in low or protected areas along the pedestrian paths, water left from the thaw will refreeze. Given the expectations of the user for a safe clean pedestrian path for the morning run, it is incumbent then to be chemically treating the walk for ice far beyond the last snow event. This very scenario adds to the complexity of calculating the costs of pedestrian path winter maintenance. Maintenance contractors cannot accurately estimate the amount of time required to remove the snow (particularly at intersec-

tions) plus the time required for multiple ice management trips. Rather than pricing per snow occurrence, they default to a time and material pricing model which is the most fair for both parties, but provides the property manager no gauge on the overall financial impact until the end of the season. To lessen the financial burden, while finding a common ground for both types of recreational users, some communities have agreed to remove snow and ice on some pedestrian paths but not all of them. This obviously provides its own challenges relative to accessibility for users and pedestrian path lengths and diversity for winter training. So it is not a simple answer. Pedestrian paths by their nature serve as access paths through a community, not connectors for commerce and the basic commu-

nity infrastructure needs (schools, libraries, and museums) like city sidewalks do. Communities with pedestrian paths then struggle with the question of “want versus need.” If they are for recreational use, what value does the community place on wanting them cleared versus needing them cleared? Is the pedestrian path cleaning cost per user from December through March worth the cost? Is there added liability exposure and if so, is that worth the cost? What are your thoughts? Email the Association Office at welcome@tiptonlakes. com regarding your input on this issue. Should pedestrian paths be cleaned? Which ones – how far and where? How clean? Is there a depth of snow “trigger” – i.e., don’t clean until 2 inches or more of snow? Any other comments?

Interest in vertical gardening is climbing 22

Tipton Life | Fall 2015

Left: James and Brenda Vogel’s vertical garden. Above: Vogel and his daughter, Elizabeth.

f you’re considering gardening, but have limited space, go vertical, recommends James Vogel. The Tipton Lakes resident has utilized vertical gardening, also known as square foot gardening, for more than 20 years and says the technique offers freedom and convenience different from traditional gardening. “I think it’s efficient from a space and labor perspective,” Vogel says. “It isn’t much different from container gardening. The raised garden is the next evolution of that.”

Vogel was introduced to the concept of vertical gardening when he discovered Mel Bartholomew’s book, “Square Foot Gardening.” First printed in 1981, the book offers step-by-step information about everything from design and planning to seed-starting, planting, spacing and pest control. When Vogel and his family moved to Westlake Hills in 2009, he designed and built the roughly 800-squarefoot garden into the hillside of the one-acre lakefront property. The intent was to have a spacious garden while leaving adequate space for the patio and inground pool, he says. Each of the elevated garden rows, which are about six inches deep, vary in length starting from 6 feet up to 31 feet long. The four concrete tiers, which resemble a retaining wall in design, each stand 3 feet tall – or waisthigh – which allows for easy weeding and harvesting. Steps divide the tiers into two sections giving manageable access to the entire garden from top to bottom. The base tier extends 3 feet below ground complete with footers to allow for effortless drainage, he says. Another benefit of having the extra footage is that the tiers, which face south, hold heat and warm up faster so earlier planting is possible, Vogel says. In order to walk among the more than 60 fruits, vegetables and herbs he has planted, Vogel has repurposed deck boards to create walkways along each row, which are easily removed during the winter. One-inch electrical conduit cord, netting and collapsible caging offer plants sturdy support for climbing.

vertical gardening Vogel tries to keep his garden as natural as possible, but there are some things you simply can’t avoid – like insects and pests, he says. For the most part, he uses compost to fertilize his garden, but says he still has to dust some of the vegetables and fruit with insecticide to cut down on infestations. As a rule, composting should be layered with dry and wet material, he says. For instance, wet material would include kitchen scraps like potato skins and cabbage leaves; essentially, anything vegetable or fruit based is fair game. However, you should avoid including animal byproducts, like egg shells or anything cooked in grease, because these will only attract unwanted scavengers, like raccoons, he says. To balance out kitchen scraps, include a layer of dry material, such as yard waste like cut grass, to improve air circulation. Whether you have a bright green thumb or one that’s maybe closer to brown, Vogel says anyone can have good results with vertical gardening. The trick is to start small and pick the right things to grow. You can’t go wrong with onions, peppers or tomatoes, he says. When asked if he has any cautionary advice to offer, Vogel turns the tables. “No, I would say, just have fun,” he says. “Pick something small and a few things you really like. Then, if you want to expand, go bigger the next year.”

The retired couple says they were attracted by the lush greenness of the then undeveloped area, as well as the lake. “Tipton was something new and different at that time,” Carolyn says. “We’d never lived on water before, and we thought that was a novelty. And it was also just a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.” Within six months after the Souzas moved in, the Pintail cluster blossomed. Today, the community is

mostly composed of retirees, Carolyn says. One of the things the Souzas love about their neighborhood are the many informal gatherings that take place there, from cookouts to street parties. “That’s something unique about this cluster,” she says. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the cluster who says, ‘I’m going to entertain people from the neighborhood.’ They don’t consider it entertaining; it’s just getting together.” Frank says not only does Tipton offer amenities for families of all ages, but it offers a taste of nature with little city influence. It was the close-to-nature feel that attracted the Souzas’ daughter, Andrea Davis, to move to the Turtle Bay neighborhood with her husband, John,

We Asked. You Answered. It seems that no matter how long our members have lived in Tipton Lakes, many moved to the neighborhood for similar reasons. Here is what our members are saying ...

Why did you choose to live in Tipton Lakes? l It is a nice community. Member since 2011 l Because of the walking trails and quiet streets. Member since 2013

and son, Benjamin, in 2001. The Davis family enjoys all of Tipton’s amenities, including the marina and walking paths, but like her parents, Andrea says she especially enjoys the closeness she feels to her neighbors. “We’ve really enjoyed living out here and find it to be a very relaxing and safe environment with all the activities,” she says. The safety Tipton’s neighborhoods offer was definitely a selling point for Stephanie Garrett and her husband, Allen, who moved to the Westbrook neighborhood in 2013. The new parents wanted a safe place for their daughter, Kendall, to grow up. “We really wanted to make sure we were in a neighborhood where she would have friends to play with,” Stephanie says. “And we were lucky because the house we moved into already had three other 2-year-olds living on the same street.” She admits the outdoor amenities, walking paths and multiple parks were also benefits that influenced their decision to buy a home in Tipton. In 2014, Stephanie’s mother, Debbie Barrett, moved into Carya Square. As a real estate agent with Century 21 Breeden Realtors, Barrett was already familiar with the community. “I’ve always wanted to live in Tipton Lakes,” Barrett says, “And the opportunity presented itself about the time Stephanie moved.” One element of the Tipton community Barrett and her daughter say they appreciate is the homeowners association that keeps the neighborhoods consistent, clean and orderly. “The houses keep their value,” Stephanie says. “So you don’t have to worry about if you sell down the road that you’ll get hurt.” Barrett says she enjoys the amenities, but the friendliness of the community also makes a big difference. Seeing other close-knit families in the area reinforces the sense of community that binds neighbors together and makes the area appealing, she says, something her

l I liked the area and my daughter moved there and it gave me close proximity to my family. Member since 2013 l Beautiful common areas, houses hold value, nice neighbors. Member since 2013 l It just has beautiful neighborhoods. I love the trails if you want to walk your dogs. Member since 2013 l I grew up in Tipton Lakes and love how family friendly the whole community is. Great people trail, a marina lake to swim in, and how clean and beautiful everything is kept. Member since 2014 l Association covenants that are reviewed and enforced thereby maintaining property values and a pleasant looking neighborhood. Member since 1993 l The water, the quiet and the walking paths. Member since 1990 l When we were looking to build, we wanted something that was more suburban and that would also be a good investment. Tipton Lakes fit that bill. The dreaded “green binder” of rules assured that the area would continue to be an attractive neighborhood for years to come. Member since 1994 l Nice neighborhood with pleasant landscaping. Member since 1998 l Best value. Member since 2000 l Tipton Lakes looked to be a quiet neighborhood that was especially well kept. Member since 2000 l We wanted to move to the west side of Columbus and we first visited Carya Square. We found a house we desired but someone put in an offer before us. We liked what we saw, continued looking, and found a house where we currently reside. Member since 2004 l We chose to live in Tipton Lakes because it offers a unique living experience in Columbus. The miles of paths and trails, accompanied with the landscaping

multiple generations make it a joy to live in year round. There is a sense of community here that we enjoy. Member since 2004 l The community seemed well-planned and maintained. The quality of our home was important too. Member since 2004 l It is such a beautiful area. It’s like living in a park! Member since 2006 l Lakes, people trails and the parks. Member since 2006 l We chose to live in Tipton Lakes because of the beautiful neighborhoods and excellent amenities. We enjoy swimming and boating at the marina. Member since 2010

daughter echoes. “I feel like it’s a good place to raise a family,” Stephanie says. “And that’s always my recommendation to others who are looking at Tipton Lakes. We’ve had a really good experience in our neighborhood.” Drew Denny and his wife, Leigh, moved to Tipton Lakes in 2001. The couple loved the location and its easy access to Interstate 65. Not only was the area convenient for Drew, who frequently commutes to Indianapolis, but it offered amenities not easily found elsewhere. The couple’s lakefront property in the Westlake Cove

What is important to you about living in Tipton Lakes? l Property value. Member since 2011 l The way the area is maintained. It is always a beautiful area. Member since 2013 l Beauty, safety, children’s play area. Member since 2013 l Safety. I feel very safe out here in Tipton. It’s like our own little town. My wife jokes that if it wasn’t for taking or picking my daughter up from Columbus East, I wouldn’t venture past I-65. Member since 2013 l Clean and well kept sceneries. Maintaining the people trail. Member since 2014 l The quiet on the lake – no gasoline powered outboard motor boats or jet skis. Member since 1993 l It is a very safe place to raise a family. Member since 1990 l The quiet setting and the attractiveness of the homes and the common areas. Member since 1994 l Walkways in Tipton Lakes. Member since 1998 l Privacy, walking, friends. Member since 2000 l Better group of people than other parts of the city. Member since 2000 l The amenities and friendliness of the residents. Appearance of public spaces is also pleasant to see. Community gatherings are enjoyable too. Member since 2004 l It is important for us to know that standards are enforced within Tipton Lakes; that we won’t be living next to a yard of broken toys and run-down vehicles. Consistency in management is important to us too. Our vehicle has covered 150,000 miles since new, most of which were on SR 46 into town. There is logic to living in town but the privacy, scenery, peacefulness, and availability of resources for our children to play make this place our place. Member since 2004

Seated: Debbie Barrett, holding her granddaughter, Kendall Garrett; standing: Allen and Stephanie Garrett neighborhood soon became a gathering place for Drew’s parents, Andy and Carol Denny, and his sister, Tricia Perry and her family. In 2012, Tricia and her husband, Tony, built a home in the neighboring Westlake Hills cluster. “We just knew it was where we wanted to be,” Tricia says. “I feel like it’s a safe and good place for kids. In our neighborhood there’s children running around everywhere.” Drew says it didn’t take any convincing on his part to get them to move since they were already familiar with the area.

multiple generations l That the community holds home owners to a high standard for maintenance. It is also important that the public areas are maintained and that the growth is controlled. Member since 2004 l Quality of life and the wonderful people who live here. Member since 2006 l Keeping the safe and friendly community. Member since 2006 l It is important to us that we feel very safe in our Tipton Lakes neighborhood. We live in a cul-de-sac and know all of our friendly neighbors. Member since 2010

What do you value most about living in Tipton Lakes? l It is a very family friendly place. Just step out your front door to parks, walk paths and friendly neighbors. Member since 2013 l It’s quiet. We use to live close to a major road, I hated it! Now the only noise I hear is children playing in my neighborhood. That’s a good sound to hear. I’ve got great neighbors and it’s the nicest home I’ve ever lived in. Member since 2013 l Safe and friendly neighborhoods. Community events and being able to rent pontoons and boats. Member since 2014

As far as Tricia was concerned, there was no other option for her and her husband. Aside from the numerous parks, including a convenient basketball court, she and her family spend a lot of time at the marina and on the walking paths. “We do a ton of walking; we’re always out,” she says. “You can go a different way every day. We do a lot of biking and go to the basketball court. My husband enjoys it as much as the kids do.” Not quite two years later, in 2014, Andy and Carol Denny moved to the Pintail neighborhood. The couple bought their home from a friend who was moving to Florida. They didn’t realize until then exactly how high of a demand there was for housing in Tipton. “You can call your neighbors, tell them you’re going to sell your house, and it would be sold tomorrow,” Andy says. For Andy and Carol Denny, the benefits of living in Tipton Lakes are numerous. But best of all, they’re an easy five- or eight-minute walk from their daughter and son, and that means being close to their grandchildren, who range in age from 2 to 6 years old. Neither the Dennys nor Tricia Perry say they’ll be leaving the Tipton Lakes Community anytime soon. “Even if we downsize after the kids are gone, I’d say we’d stay in this area,” Tricia says.

l Watching the changes on the lake, in particular seeing the migratory birds come through seasonally. Member since 1993 l The peace and quiet of no motor boats. Member since 1990 l Our neighbors. Any time we have discussed moving, we always look at each other and say, “where are we going to find neighbors like we have here?” Member since 1994 l I value the safety and stewardship of the development I live in. Member since 2000 l The amount and variety of walking trails. Member since 2004 l I value our neighbors most of all. This is a fabulous place to raise a family. Member since 2004 l The lake, walking path and trees. Member since 2004 l We are proud to be part of this community of beautifully maintained homes and public spaces. Member since 2006 l We value the maintenance and care taken by the homeowners in Tipton Lakes. When you drive through the neighborhoods each home is beautiful and well kept. We believe that adds value to our home as well. Member since 2010

4th of July Celebration undreds of members gathered at the Marina on July 3 to celebrate Independence Day. The day started with a parade down Tipton Lakes Boulevard, followed by popsicles, brick oven pizzas, fish sandwiches, apple pie, face painting and live music provided by Boogie Moon and a spectacular fireworks show. Each year this event grows in number and enthusiasm with members and their extended family enjoying the convenience of fireworks right here in Tipton Lakes. “Our granddaughters join us every year from out of state,” said Grace Pentzer, Hori-

zon West member. “They enjoy the tradition, and we love having a reason for them to visit,” she added. The fireworks company works with the Association to position the fireworks display over the tree line just east of the Marina. Members come by foot and by boat to participate in the celebration. It’s also not unusual to see “pre-shows” by members who set off fireworks for everyone to enjoy from their yards prior to the fireworks company show. Neighborhood celebrations, like the Independence Day event, make living in Tipton Lakes both enjoyable and fun!

Columbus Challenge celebrates 20 years at Tipton Lakes This August, the Columbus Challenge race celebrated 20 years. It’s truly amazing how this event has grown and changed over the past 20 years; growing in number of athletes and with the addition of an Olympic distance and a duathlon option. Perhaps it’s fitting that the Tipton Lakes Community has grown right along with us. Each year we hear that our participants love the beauty of Tipton Lakes and all the support from the spectators, who come out on race day! Each year, around 400 athletes come to the Columbus Challenge. Foundation For Youth is so thankful to the

Tipton Lake’s Community for supporting us as we bring so many people and some traffic into the neighborhood for an early morning race. The Triathlon is a fundraiser for Foundation For Youth and directly provides scholarships for youth. Foundation For Youth programs reach over 14,000 youth annually. Thank you, Tipton Lakes residents, for sharing your beautiful neighborhood each year! Jen Shaver Community Health & Fitness Director Foundation For Youth

Neighborly Reminders Exterior changes. If you are planning any changes to the exterior of your home or lot, a Design Review Application for Modification must be submitted. Completed applications, including all required information, should be submitted to the Association Office by the first day of the month to be guaranteed that they will be reviewed at that month’s meeting. The Design Review Modifications Committee meets during the second week of every month.

Pet owners. Please properly dispose of all pet waste. Ideally this means picking up all waste and disposing it in waste containers. As you walk along the pedestrian paths, you will find Doggie Waste Stations. When putting pet waste into plastic baggies, it is ESSENTIAL THAT THE BAGGIES ARE NOT DISPOSED OF IN THE STREET/STORM DRAINS. The plastic baggies with pet waste end up in our lakes. Cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Leaf removal. It won’t be long before the leaves will be falling and cleanup begins. Please do not rake or blow leaves in the lakes. The city of Columbus provides leaf removal. Members are asked to rake leaves to their curb (not in the street as it clogs street drains). Leaves will be picked up by the city on a routine basis.

Sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. This time of year it is particularly helpful to keep your sidewalk clean and tidy by picking up sticks and debris and edging the grass from the sidewalk edge. It’s the little things that add curb appeal to the home and keeps our walkers safe.

Experience Something New

any of us think of the “comfort zone” as a relic of ‘80s motivational psychology and a tag line on corporate “reach for success” posters. But in fact, the comfort zone is a useful concept that can help you embrace risk and make changes in your life that can lead to real personal growth. We invite you to take that step and try something new this season at the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic. Our mission is to help our city’s cultural landscape grow through music. We work to enhance the quality of life in our community so that all of Columbus and surrounding areas have the opportunity to be touched by live, high-quality music in a manner and style meaningful to them. The Philharmonic has become a musical landmark in this architecturally and artistically rich area. With its commitment to excellence in programming and in music education, the Philharmonic raises our quality of life, inspires us and helps us discover new perspectives and Travel on a “Musical Journey” wonderful worlds we have never known before. in this 29th season presented by Through the past 28 seasons, we’ve discovered personal growth is the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic achieved many ways, especially when trying new things.

Getting to Know Our “Green Book” opies of our Covenants have been neatly housed inside a green, three-ring binder that has over the years been commonly referred to as our “Green Book.” Although a bit overwhelming at first glance, the binder is organized to assist members in finding important information about living in Tipton Lakes and being a member of our Association.

Sections include: n Articles of Incorporation – dating back to 1981, declares the Association as a legal, incorporated entity. n Bylaws – framework for how the Association functions. n Declaration – defines property subject to the Declaration, the general organization, purpose and membership of the Association, defines common areas and responsibility for maintenance, addresses assessment rates, use of property, maintenance of the lakes, dams and canals, first mortgagees’ rights, developer’s reservations, easements and general provisions for all areas in Tipton Lakes. n Supplementary Declaration – further defines specific responsibilities of the cluster. n Rules and Regulations – Is a working document adopted by the Board of Directors to give direction to use of lakes, property and common areas, annual assessment collection, design review procedures and applications and rules enforcement procedures. n Membership Agreement – which is signed by each new member. n Budgets – Copies of the General Budget and application cluster budgets are helpful tools in answering questions about assessments. n Financial Statements – although condensed versions are distributed each year in preparation for our Annual Meeting in the Spring, complete copies are available in the Association Office. n Newsletters – although recent copies are helpful for current information, Tipton Life is used often to communicate important Association issues. Utilize this section to keep prior copies. n Design and Maintenance Guidelines – are used by the Design Review Modifications Committee each time an application is received for review. If you are considering an exterior change to your home, you will find these Guidelines essential. In this issue and subsequent issues of Tipton Life, sections from our Covenants will be highlighted. The intention here is to aid members in a greater understanding of community association living.

2016 Budget Preparation Begins ach year the Association staff, Board members, committee volunteers and Cluster Committee representatives spend a considerable amount of time on budget preparations. Included are several steps to ensure that the Association is adequately prepared and funded for the upcoming year. It’s a complex activity that starts early so the budget can be finalized and approved prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year.

Here’s how we do it: l The Finance Committee reviews current year spending, identifying any possible shortfalls or overages, and reviewing requirements for the upcoming fiscal year. l The Finance Committee, Board, Cluster Committee members and Association staff work together to gather all financial information needed to project expenses for the coming year. This could include a reserve analysis, bids for contracts, projections for utility or service increases, requests for new/additional projects, comparisons of past years’ budget trends and many other details. l The Finance Committee also examines all sources of income — assessments, interest on investments, proceeds from Marina operations and other sources of miscellaneous income. l The Finance Committee creates working drafts by adjusting the expenses and income until they balance. This may be accomplished by forgoing certain expenses to avoid raising assessments. Or it may be necessary to raise assessments to cover increased expenses, such as utilities that the Board cannot control. l When the Finance Committee has developed the best possible draft budget, the Association Board approves the budget and sends it to every member along with a copy of the new budget and their assessment rate for the upcoming fiscal year. As you can see, we start the budget process early with the goal of allowing time for member input and proper review.

Fishing Clinic Energizes Interest embers of the Lake Maintenance Committee held their second annual Fishing Clinic for Tipton Lakes members this past June. The clinic was designed to pass along fishing enthusiasts’ tips about fishing at Tipton Lakes. Several members and their kids and grandkids attended the early morning Saturday clinic. “By the end of the morning, every kid would put a worm in their hand,” said George Gratz, Lake Committee member and TLCA Board President. Committee members shared examples of the different species of fish stocked in Tipton Lakes and tips for how to successfully fish. Everyone caught a fish or two before the end of the day. A special thanks goes out to our Lake Maintenance Committee members for offering their knowledge and love of fishing!
